The Australia and Chelsea striker, who denies the charge, appeared at Kingston crown court on Tuesday. The Matildas and Chelsea superstar, Sam Kerr, has appeared in court charged with alleged racially aggravated harassment of a police officer. The Australian striker attended a hearing, wearing a black coat and a white jumper, at Kingston crown court on Tuesday.
Kerr, 31, is charged with causing a police officer harassment, alarm or distress under Section 4A of the Public Order Act during an incident in Twickenham, south-west London, on 30 January 2023. Australia’s all-time leading goalscorer pleaded not guilty at Kingston crown court in March last year.
Kerr’s trial is scheduled to take place on 3 February. She has not played for more than 12 months after suffering a serious knee injury last January. But she has been stepping up her recovery and joined her club teammates on their mid-season training camp in Portugal this month.
